"what about the insecticide spray that is marked 100% organic....."

I think we had this discussion before. "Organic" does not mean "safe" or "non-toxic." Organic compounds in an insecticide does not mean it is somehow safe to spray indiscriminately. Insecticides are meant to kill, period. Identify the problem (ID the bugs), treat accordingly with a targeted product meant to kill what you're after.
